I've done some small investigations, but not a lot, so pardon that
if you can :)

We've got some European relatives over for the next few weeks; I know their
language a little but not a lot.. but certainly I'm out of practice. It occurs
to me a fun exercise would be to sit down with an IF game in their native
tongue to give myself a quick little workout. I'm not sure if it'd help or
not but its an interesting idea :)

I'm specifically looking for Croatian; does anyone know of any games in that
tongue? (Preferring zmachine, but nomatter)

Sorry for the quick out of blue post :)

If you can't find a game, maybe you can try porting Adventure to
Croatian. I bet that would polish your skills, PDQ. Then you can
upload it to Baf's Guide, for the next person.

I don't know of any in z-machine, but there are some ZX Spectrum
games in Croatian floating around. Try this page:

http://retrospec.sgn.net/users/tomcat/yu/main_en.html

I also vaguely recall seeing a few for the C64. I'll post if I
find some.

Bah. I just noticed the page does have a few, and
they were the ones I was thinking of.

Anyhow, enjoy.

Interesting for sure; I've never muched used a Speccy or the like
I admit (though I longed for an Acorn, which was also pretty much unavailable
where I grew up) so I'll take a look. It also tips me off that I should do
some googling for "Cro" (and also for Hrvati and other Croatian spellings).

Thanks for the tips :)

A little more than my skills for now but an interesting idea for
later; for that matter I have been considering porting Adventure to
Magnetic Scrolls, so could be interesting to combine the two...

Hello,

My name is Vicko. I'm a Croat. I'm a fan of interactive fiction since of
first Spectrum adventures I've got. I've tried to sparkle up interest in
interactive fiction in Croats but beacuse of my obligations that project is
now in "hibernation". You can check what I have done on:


http://www.geocities.com/interaktivna_knjizevnost/


"Interaktivna knjizevnost" is attempt to translate term IF to Croatian.
Bacuse we don't have equivalent for "Fiction" I have translated to something
like "Interactive literature".

Maybe you won't understand what's on the page (beacuse you don't know
Croatian) so I'll try to explain:

I have almost completed port of Adventure on Croatian on TADS2 (take word
"almost" in relative terms cause debugging isn't done yet). You can download
it and try it - just change "pdf" extension to "gam".

The situation on adventures on Croatian scene is currently like this: We
have only one adventure written specifically in our language: Theater. It
was written for ZX Spectrum almost two decades ago. Maybe we have only one,
but it's excellent! It's about murder in the theatre and murderer still in
the theatere and you trying to escape it. I have plan to translate it toTADS
standard one day. I'm still looking for some other adventures on our
language, specifically maybe there are some MIA (mising in action) on C64. I
would appreciate any help about them.

We where there living in the same country with other south-slavic nations
and especially the Serbs and partly Slovenians where more interested in IF
then we. What has been done for Spectrum you can check under adventure
section on: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/tomcat/main_en.html. Croatian and
Serbian are similiar languages so all adventures for ZX that were released
were released under one publishing company "Suzy".

As far as I know, non of this ex-YU nations haven't released anything in IF
later or tried to adjust Inform or TADS system to their language.

My plan is to transform TADS to fit our language some day. I have tried to
do this with TADS2 but it proved more difficualt than to do it with TADS3
which was made in mind with language customization. Also, I got permission
from Ian Finnley to translate Babel, piece of IF, which, I whink, could
sparkle up intrese in writing and playing IF in Croats.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Vicko

That's great, thanks for the link. I'd never have thought that there
were text adventures in Slovenian. Now I've only got to find an
emulator that actually plays .tzx files on my computer. I've tried
two Windows ones, Real Spectrum and Klive11, but Real Spectrum just
crashes when I try to play a .tzx file, and Klive does nothing.
Maybe I should try a DOS-based one.

OTOH, given my almost non-existant Slovenian skills, the two .z80
games should keep me occupied for quite a while. One is about
werewolves, and in the other one, you have to kill yourself for some
reason that you are told in the beginning. If I understood it
correctly, I was told that I had to kill myself because my husband
didn't want to buy me a fur coat. (But my dictionary is really small,
so maybe I got something wrong.)

Hello Vicko,

Have you thought about translating Inform to Croatian? I think that it
would be much easier to do than with TADS 2, mainly beacause Graham
Nelson wrote Inform not forgeting about enabling people to - fairly easy
- translate it to other languages; DM4 explains how to do it. At
present, I'm trying to translate it to my language - Polish. The work is
not entirely finished yet, but I'm optimistic about it and I think that
I will soon manage to complete the translation. Croatian is very similar
to Polish (with little surprise, I found that I understand nearly all
text I read on your website), so I think that - if you would someday try
to "croatise" Inform - maybe we could share our experiences. Anyway,
good luck!

Jacek Lenkiewicz

PS.About the term "Interaktivna knjizevnost" - I believe it's alike in
meaning with the Polish term I find most appropriate - "interaktywna
literatura" (Interactive literature, lireraly).

I am amazed nonetheless :) It is also very cool to see this Polish
Inform port in progress and other related projects. I'm a software developer
and have spent enormous amounts of time recently learning how painful
internationalization can be and building my applications to work in a most
reasonable fashion so its amazing to see this stuff at work :) (I tell you,
a person using one of my applications is half Jewish and half Japanese --
mixing Hebrew (right to left) with Japanese (symbols) really made me work..)

Is that a term only you use, or could there be others also using it?

Any tips on getting the fonts to work right? ie: I set up
Tads32 (Tads2 for Windows console mode) and the non-latin characters
showed up incorrectly. I'll see if I can find a more modern TADS2
implementation. (Altering my locale in WinXP to HR didn't help at all..
console mode doesn't honour codepage shifts I guess.)

Which TADS2 runtime are you using yourself? Which OS? (I run
Unix (FreeBSD), Linux, Mac OSX and Windows XP here, so I'm pretty much
good to go.)

I'm an emulator buff (I've written many, and ported many) however
for some reason I just can't get into the Speccy 😉

Really good link; I'll passi t around for sure.. it is very
interesting to see this sort of thing collected.

I've not fiddled with TADS much.. TADS3 cannot run TADS2?

Any advice is welcome; if I can play Adventure in Croatian that
should prove interesting :) Kudos for the attempt, even if it is stalled :)

I find X128 very good for Windows. It's very robust (unless you try
passing it files on the command-line), you get all the functions via F1,
and you can speed up the TZX loading process as it's happening.

I seem to have found one involving tripped-out Smurfs, but don't have
the Slovenian dictionary to appreciate it.

ZX-32 (for Windows) can handle .tzx files:

Thank you and Katzy, but I've found one called ZXSpin that seems to
play all the tape files nicely. (*And* I've found out how to load
tapes. 😉

I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what's going on in that one. The easiest
one seems to be a game which is a little like _The Adventures of the
President of the United States_, but it takes place in Europe. By
going north or south etc., you go from country to country. There's not
too much text, and, apparently, not much to do except for picking up
stuff.

I to once had a "dream" of having an IF comunity in Portugal, but in
Portuguese, after several tries in this and other newsgroups/webpages/foruns
i never got any feedback from fellow Portugueses, and as such the "dream"
faded...

Nowadays, im more into playing english adventures than to try and write
something myself, but i never lost my interest in the language idea, it
"only" lacks portuguese support and contributions.

So if any of you is Portuguese, i have the webspace to host such a comunity,
i only need to create the comunity itself 😉

Contact me...

not on the same topic, but spectrum adventures are at
www.worldofspectrum.org :) maybe some in Croatian too... Play them with a
emulator (i sugest Spectaculator, get it at www.spectaculator.com).

Yes, in long terms. But, again, as you could see through my posts, I find
the bigger problem is to make someone interested in writing IF in Croatia.

I have started reading about it in DM4 but have found some obstacles so I
have turned to TADS which gave some immediate results (I'm not trying to
imply that one system here is better for internationalization, just that in
my case happened this way).

I think I will continue with TADS3 for now beacuse I have more experience
with TADS system in general. But you exeperience with Polish Inform-ization
:) would be of most value for me (beacuse our languages are similar) if I
try to adapat Inform to Croatian. I recommend that we contact each other
immediately, so your knowledge of Informa-zing slavonic languages would be
of value to others that speak similar languages and wouldn't be forgotten
because of our obligations. You can contact me through
vickovitasovic@softhome.net and tell me in brief what have you done till
now.

Thanks very much! Vicko

I have spent much trying to find someone with similiar knowledge and
enthusiasm about IF in Croatia though online communities, forums etc. but
have found none till now (we are quite small nation you know). I have posted
topic on our biggest fourm about IK (IF) and some literature students told
me about that there where even some lectures on postgradute studies about
about new forms of literature that included interactivity but none of that
resembled to what we call IF here.

So, maybe I'm only one in Croatia trying to translate it :).

It works for me. It always did both on Win 2K and Win XP. So I recommend
those two as operating system. I use latest 2.5.8. Tads authoring kit and
it's interpreter (maybe it's link is still working on my pages). Try setting
all your regional settings to Croatian. Make sure that right fonts and code
pages are selected under Advanced settings. Settings that we use have
keywords like: Central and Easten Europe, code page 1250, 10082... HTH.

There are interpreters that can run oth of them. But in fact TADS2 and TADS3
have completly different VM.

Interested player like you could get it running again!

Thanks for you interest. If you could get your relatives interesed in IF
maybe I wouldn't be lonley IF-er in Croatia any more :).
